SILVER DAGGER (6) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 6f in the LR Tasmanian Newmarket Hcp at this track. Bulent Muhcu who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Fitter and looks sure to play a big role. IN THE OCEAN (1) scored when resuming at this track then finished 10 lengths away in eighth over 5½f at Hobart. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. JAGUAR STONE (4) raced on the speed last time and finished second over 5f at Devonport Synthetic, the second minor placing from as many runs this prep. Fitter and a solid top-three hope again. MS TASMANIA (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at this track, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Ready to go one better.
